Esau Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

Esau is a figure from the Old Testament. He was Jacob's twin brother. Esau loved the outdoors and had lots of red hair.

This is a fun and simple color, cut and paste paper craft that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give Esau a three dimensional effect.

I gave Jacob and Esau the same faces because they were twins -- Esau has more muscular arms because he liked hunting.

Print out the template of choice.
Color the pieces (as appropriate) and cut them out. Remember that Esau had red hair.
Assemble the Esau craft:
- Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper roll
- Glue the thinner rectangular piece around the center as a belt
- Glue the head onto the top of the toilet paper roll
- Glue the arms onto the sides of the toilet paper roll
- Glue the hunter's bow into the hands and the arrow quiver into the other hand or onto Esau's back.
- Fold the feet along the dotted line and glue to give a 3 dimensional effect.
